Apparently my phone summoned an uber while it was in my pocket for a straight hour while I was at lunch the other day, and I was charged 6 dollars and refused a refund.
If you dial a taxi you need to provide your pickup place and name usually, accidentally dialing it won't make a car get to you. Not sure that's what you mean.
I deleted it because the only GPS option is "always on" now. Can't limit it to when app is on. Load of crap. I'm surprised Apple allows that to be an exclusive policy at all.
That's not correct, there are two options, always on, and no access. Uber still works fine if you refuse to grant access to your location, you just have to put your location in manually. If you've already granted permission, you can revoke it by going to Settings > Uber > Location. Apple aren't going to kick Uber out of the App Store if it works fine when you don't grant permission.
Not even that comparison is fair to uber. From Uber's point of view, his actions are indistinguishable from someone who hailed an uber and changed their minds.
Now, I don't know why uber didn't offer him the benefit of the doubt, but they were well within their rights not to refund. They did nothing unethical.
Permanently deleted, without regret.
